FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
Recordings in GluRIIAunspecified mutant third instar larval neuromuscular junctions under standard conditions show significantly decreased mEPSP amplitude and a robust, homeostatic increase in quantal content, but no apparent changes in EPPSP amplitude.
The mean quantal amplitude, rise time, decay time and area ratio h of excitatory postsynaptic currents are reduced in mutants.
GluRIIAunspecified has abnormal neurophysiology | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Mctpe00415/MctpUAS.cGa
GluRIIAunspecified has abnormal neurophysiology | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Mctpe00415/MctpUAS.cGa
GluRIIA[+]/GluRIIAunspecified is a suppressor | partially of abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype of dbohenji-1
GluRIIAunspecified has embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Mctpe00415/MctpUAS.cGa
GluRIIAunspecified has embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Mctpe00415/MctpUAS.cGa
GluRIIA[+]/GluRIIAunspecified is a suppressor | partially of bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype of dbohenji-1
GluRIIA[+]/GluRIIAunspecified is a suppressor | partially of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | third instar larval stage phenotype of dbohenji-1
Although both GluRIIAunspecified single mutants and in GluRIIAunspecified, Mctpe00415 double mutants show similarly decreased mEPSP amplitudes in the third instar larval neuromuscular junction, double mutants show a decrease in quantal content instead of the homeostatic increase in quantal content, and also show a decrease in EPSP amplitude; MctpUAS.cGa expression under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in the double mutant background leads to homeostatic increase in quantal content as observed in GluRIIAunspecified single mutants.
GluRIIAunspecified/+ partially suppresses the increased satellite bouton phenotype seen in dbohenji-1/dbohenji-1 mutant larval neuromuscular junctions.
